Abstract

Background: A 70‐year‐old man revealed a rare type of atrioventricular nodal re‐entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) involving distinct retrograde pathways, superior slow pathway, and inferolateral left atrial slow pathway. Result: Radiofrequency ablation was successfully performed on the noncoronary cusp and in the left atrium, respectively, to eliminate the tachycardias. Discussion and Conclusion: Due to the anomalous electrical conduction patterns, careful diagnosis and ablation strategies were necessary to avoid the risk of atrioventricular block. These findings underscore the diversity and complexity of AVNRT and highlight the importance of tailored therapeutic approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
